Intake of non-nutritive sweeteners is associated with an unhealthy lifestyle: a cross-sectional study in subjects with morbid obesity

Abstract: BackgroundSubjects with morbid obesity commonly use Non-Nutritive Sweeteners (NNS), but the health-related effects of NNS have been questioned. The objectives of this study were to explore the associations between theuse of NNS and the health and lifestyle in subjects with morbid obesity.MethodsThis cross-sectional study included subjects with morbid obesity (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2 or ≥35 kg/m2 with obesity-related comorbidity). Information about demographics, physical and mental health, and dietary habits was collect… Show more

“…Other population-based studies that have examined the diet quality of NNS consumers found that diet quality of consumers was higher than that of non-consumers [ 25 , 29 ]. However, another study that only included obese patients found the opposite [ 30 ]. The results of the present study demonstrate that NNS consumers also misreported energy intakes, were on a weight-loss diet, or reported a current diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, and these groups may report higher diet quality [ 31 , 32 ].…”

“…Further evidence also suggests that consumption of low-calorie sweeteners may result in complete caloric compensation from other sources [ 11 , 20 , 21 ]. In addition, findings from a recent study reported that for morbidly obese subjects the use of low-calorie sweeteners was associated with an unhealthy lifestyle and unfavourable eating habits (increased energy intake including sugar and reduced intake of some vitamins) [ 22 ]. However, our findings indicate that consumption of low-calorie sweeteners did not result in poorer dietary quality for these subjects.…”

“…Conversely, less food intake will cause the body to be thin and susceptible to disease. Both of these conditions are just as bad, so they are called wrong nutrition (Winther et al, 2017). A balanced consumption pattern and the right choice of food are things to do.…”
